- There we have nothing. There is exactly one specific proposal here,
- the abolition of the GST. The rest is smoke and mirrors. Fairness,
- simplicity, equity.
-
- The Liberals have been in the opposition for years. Surely there has
- been time to develop a fair, simple, and equitable tax system on which
- people can make a judgement. Instead, it boils down to exactly what
- every other party says: "Elect us and we will find a way of screwing
- you that we think is fair, simple, and equitable."
